Stalk me

I (for unknown reasons) resolved to update the bios, what gave me a lot of problems when it bricked my laptop =/. So, after 4 days on research (and some hours to do a backup, when no hope was left), I tried a last alternative, that you can follow below, with my commentaries in yellow:

1) Create the CRISIS disk using USB flash drive2) Make sure your notebook is power off — I also removed the battery and the AC cable3) Plug in the CRISIS disk to your Lenovo notebook4) Press “Fn”+”R” key5) While holding the “Fn”+”R” key — I inserted the AC now — , press power button6) The notebook should power on and USB stick light showing activity7) Stop pressing “Fn”+”R” key, after you see USB stick blinking LED8) Your notebook should automatically restart with working BIOS in 2-3 minutes. — For me, I needed to put the battery again

VERY IMPORTANT: Do not take off your battery!! It seems that before flashing, it verify AC/DC connection and battery level. If one of them is not ok, then reflash is stopped. — Yes, I know it now—
